Heard is not a fan of negative headlines

Amber Heard has sacked her PR team as the petition calling for her removal from Aquaman 2 reaches a staggering 3 million signatures.

Amber Heard, 36, is expected to testify in the coming weeks in the defamation trial that saw ex-husband Johnny Depp, 58, sue Heard for $50m. Heard is countersuing for $100m.

According to the New York Post, Heard’s PR team from Precision Strategies was sacked on April 28, citing bad press.

“She doesn’t like bad headlines,” a source told the news outlet. Another person said the actress is “frustrated with her story not being told effectively.” With Heard expected to take the stand over the coming weeks, days even, it’s believed she has hired Shane Communications on retainer.

At the same time, the petition calling for Heard to be removed from Aquaman 2 has reached 3-million signatures and counting.

The Change.org petition reads: “Men are victims of domestic abuse, just like women. This must be recognised, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry.

“Do the right thing. Remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2.”

While many are calling for her removal, renowned Film journalist Grace Randolph has claimed that Heard is only in the DC flick for 10 minutes.

“I hear #AmberHeard has less than 10 min of screentime in #Aquaman2,” she wrote on Twitter.

But still, the fans are unmoving.

“Just remove her altogether!” one user replied.

Another said: “Amber Heard is literally the bad apple of Aquaman 2. If they take Amber out the movie, everyone would feel completely different about seeing Aquaman 2.

“They got to get rid of her if they want anyone excited for this movie.”
